Rare acts like they have shelved the game for the indefinite future.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
Outside of some rumours, and both Kevin Lobb and Phil Spencer stating they are interested in the franchise, Perfect Dark is “dead”.
I have always found Microsoft's purchase of and complete disregard for Rare a weird mystery. They bought this legendary company so many years ago, but just tossed it aside and never took advantage of it or it's IPs properly.
I'd love to see a new Perfect Dark. I do wonder if changing the formula up, would be a benefit for it or not and what I mean by that is changing it from a first person shooter, to a third person shooter.
You got hints of a TPS in the Xbox 360 version and I can't help but wonder what a whole game would look like.
I also think bringing in elements like how Deus Ex is an immersive SIM would be perfect for the universe of Perfect Dark.
it was not "perfect" after all
